I am here for Friends

About Me

My favorite word is serendipity. I'm on the fast-track to 30, the only problem is I have no idea where the track is heading. Currently I'm in limbo, hitting the snooze button on life, and waiting to take the next big step. Travelling, grad school, becoming a hermit on a beautiful island? Hard to say really. I'm little and like little things, but I think and dream big. I like smart people and intellectual conversations, but I love to be silly and play as my clown.I want to work hard so I can accomplish all my dreams. I've noticed that time goes more quickly now, which is forcing me to focus on the positive things--like bunnies, flowers, good theatre/music, sleeping in and laughing with my friends. Possibility keeps me going. Theatre and the arts were my passion, and then quickly became my life, and yet, theatre still makes me happier than anything else. I strongly dislike bad pop country music, arrogance, Stephen Harper, restoration theatre, pick-up trucks in the city and mosquitos. I'm a feminist, but I'm probably too little to be scary! "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." (Rev. Pat Robertson, 1992)
